KSC G19 all the way. As far as being confined to what gas you use, not always the case. My stock G19 has had about 3000-4000 shots using propane fired through it and no wear yet. Just recently I put a metal threaded outer barrel in it, and an enhanced recoil spring, so it's not quite stock anymore, but still has the original slide on it. My other G19 is fully upgraded and fires like a dream.

I'd suggest this: Buy your KSC G19 (you are fine to get the Taiwan version, as it's identical to the Japan version, only difference being the Japan ones go through a second QC check........... according to legend anyways. I have one of each and can't find any difference except price), and spend the money, $10-15, on an enhanced recoil spring. It will absorb a bit more of the power propane provides when pushing the slide back, further cushioning it. Shouldn't find any wear that way. Some people claim their stock ABS GBBs break within the first 100 shots using propane, others (like me) haven't had any problems at all for thousands of shots. All I can honestly say is....... luck of the draw.
